What is the difference between an inference and a prediction? - ANSWER inference is based on observation; prediction is a hypothesis What are the differences between hypothesis, theory and law? - ANSWER hypothesis is an educated guess; theory is based one experiments; law is proven the same over and over What is the difference between an independent and dependent variable? - ANSWER independent variable is a thing you test or change; dependent variable is the thing you measure Interpret graphs. Which axis has the independent variable? Which axis has the dependent variable? When do you use a bar graph? A line graph? A pie graph? - ANSWER independent is x axis; dependent variable is y axis. line graphs are used for change over time, a pie graph for parts of a whole How do you determine the magnification of the field of view for a microscope? - ANSWER power of lens + power of objective = magnification What happens to the diameter of the field of view when you change from low to high power? - ANSWER the diameter become smaller How do you estimate the size of a cell or cell structure when using a microscope? - ANSWER consider magnification and original size What do you adjust first on a microscope? What you then adjust when on the highest power? - ANSWER Course adjustment; Fine adjustment You have measured the rate at which a fish breaths at various temperatures by counting the rate at which its gills open. The data is below. Graph this data. - ANSWER *line graph here* What is the independent variable? The dependent variable? - ANSWER independent is temperature dependent is breathing rate What is the best type of graph for this data? Why? - ANSWER line graph What happens to breathing rate with increase in Temperature? - ANSWER increases What would be a good control for this experiment? - ANSWER temperature stays the same and measure How do you think the breathing rate was measured? - ANSWER breathes per minute
